Adam Robins 10/23/2017 10:13 AMAnother wonderful day to ride to work. The streets are still a little damp with leaves. After the downpour on Saturday, today felt like a respite. I enjoy having that five or ten minutes of silent pedaling.
We filled up and exceeded our bike parking at work again. I like that. -

Adam Robins 10/19/2017 2:33 PMI've been writing emails to elected officials regarding the cleaning of the Portland Harbor Superfund site. The last several days I worked on encouraging parties who would generally be friendly to pushing forward with that process, such as Sen. Merkley, Rep. Blumenauer, Gov. Brown, Mayor Wheeler, and Commissioner Fish. Today I wrote to Donald Trump. I hope I become the subject of a mean tweet, or even better yet, I hope he stops obstructing the clean up and instructs the EPA to cooperate with the process.-
Adam Robins 10/19/2017 4:03 PMI hope so. I'd love for the Portland Harbor to get the cleanup it deserves.
